Hi Ho,



I am trying to pass a total order value to the top page of a frameset. 

everytime the user adds to the basket from the lowerframe, I am trying 

to get the total to appear in the top frame without loosing focus on the 

lower frame.



Any help greatfully received.







David

Updating the top frame will move the focus there, but then your client code

which did that can move the focus back to itself to put the user back to the

action they were on...

You could use ASP's session object to hold the amount.  This will 

persist the value of the order over a series of pages.  In your ASP 

script for the upper frame page, you could use something like the 

following, having a form field in the lower frame with a NAME attribute 

of "quantity":



<%

Dim OrderTotal

OrderTotal =3D Session("OrderTotal")

OrderTotal =3D Request.Form("quantity")

%>



The trick is getting the top frame to reload, displaying the updated 

order value.  The easiest way would probably be to include a link or 

button on the bottom frame reading "update order info":



<a href=3D"upperframe.asp" target=3D"_parent">Update my order!</a>



HTH,

Jason
